Hey, guys. I'm having trouble replacing my smallest drill bit. I don't have an accurate enough caliper to know the size, but I think it's somewhere between 0.1mm and 0.5mm.
Does anybody know where I can get hold of a replacement or thirty?

I am guessing you are in the US? Over here in GB or Ireland I would try Maplin or any number of online retailers that have sets of fine bits for pin-vices or twist drills. Try searching using the bit sizes you are after. |

I have a local hardware store that does very small drill bits, very cheap. Somehow I doubt if they have a branch in the US however, but something similar may do or you. |

I use a local hobby store for fine small bits. The big box stores usually don't carry them. Good luck! |

I found an online dealer called Micro-Mark Here They're a little expensive, perhaps, but they've got exactly what I needed. Thanks for the encouragement, guys. I've been looking for a few weeks now & couldn't find anything. I actually grabbed the ArmyPainter vice at my local game supply, hoping it had a bit small enough. It does not, but I'm not sorry I got the tool, because it's a lot nicer than the exacto brand vice I've been using. |
